Colosas 3
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
3 Busa tungod kay kamo nabanhaw man uban ni Cristo, tinguhaa ninyo ang mga butang nga atua sa langit, ang dapit diin nagalingkod si Cristo sa tuo sa Dios. 2 Isentro ninyo ang inyong mga hunahuna sa mga butang nga langitnon, dili sa mga butang nga kalibotanon. 3 Kay namatay na kamo diha sa inyong daan nga kinabuhi, ug ang inyong bag-o nga kinabuhi ginatago na diha sa Dios uban ni Cristo. 4 Si Cristo mao ang inyong kinabuhi; ug sa pag-abot sa adlaw nga ipadayag siya, ipadayag usab kamo uban kaniya nga may gahom ug dungog.
Ang Bag-o ug ang Daan nga Kinabuhi
5 Busa isalikway na ninyo ang inyong lawasnong mga tinguha. Ayaw kamo pagpakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon ni magbuhat sa bisan unsa nga malaw-ay. Ayaw kamo pagsunod sa daotang mga tinguha sa inyong lawas ni maghunahuna mahitungod niini. Ayaw usab kamo paghinakog, kay ang pagkahakog sama usab sa pagsimba sa mga dios-dios. 6 Tungod niining mga binuhatan sa mga tawo silotan sila sa Dios, [kay wala sila nagatuman kaniya.] 7 Ang tinuod mao usab kini ang inyong gibuhat kaniadto sa dihang nagkinabuhi pa kamo sumala sa inyong lawasnon nga mga tinguha. 8 Apan karon kinahanglan isalikway na ninyo kining tanan: ang kapungot, ang kasuko, ang pagdumot, ang pagbutang-butang, ug ang pagsulti sa mga malaw-ay nga mga pulong. 9 Ayaw kamo pagbakak sa usag usa, tungod kay gihukas na nato ang atong daan ug daotan nga kinaiya. 10 Ug karon nagsul-ob na kita sa bag-o nga kinaiya. Ug kini padayon nga ginabag-o kanunay sa Dios nga magbubuhat niini, aron mahisama kita kaniya, ug aron mailhan gayod nato siya. 11 Sa ingon niini walay kalainan, Judio man o dili Judio, tinuli man o dili tinuli, mga luog[a] o bisan pa ang labing ubos kanila, mga ulipon o dili ulipon, kay si Cristo mao ang tanan ug anaa siya kanatong tanan.
12 Kamo mga pinili sa Dios. Gihigugma niya kamo ug gilain alang sa iyang kaugalingon. Busa kinahanglan nga magmaluloy-on kamo, magmatinabangon, magmapainubsanon, magmalulot, ug magmapailubon. 13 Magpasensyahanay kamo sa usag usa, ug magpinasayloay kon kamo may pagdumot sa usag usa, kay kamo gipasaylo na man sa Dios. 14 Ug labaw sa tanan maghinigugmaay kamo, kay ang gugma mao ang mobugkos niining tanan, aron mahimong matahom ug hingpit ang inyong kinabuhi. 15 Paharia sa inyong kasingkasing ang kalinaw nga gihatag ni Cristo. Kay alang niini gitawag kamo sa Dios isip mga miyembro sa usa lang ka lawas. Ug magmapasalamaton usab kamo kanunay kaniya.
16 Hinaut nga isilsil gayod ninyo sa inyong alimpatakan ang mga pulong ni Cristo. Magtinambagay kamo ug magpahinumdomay sa usag usa sumala sa kaalam nga gikan sa Dios. Pag-awit kamo sa mga salmo ug uban pa nga mga awit mahitungod sa pagdayeg sa Dios sa kinasingkasing nga pagpasalamat kaniya. 17 Ug bisan unsa ang inyong himuon o isulti, himoa sa pamaagi nga maangayan ni Ginoong Jesus, ug magpasalamat kamo sa Dios nga amahan pinaagi kaniya.
Ang Inyong Relasyon sa Inyong mga Kauban
18 Kamong mga asawa, magpasakop kamo sa inyong bana, kay mao kini ang angay ninyong buhaton isip mga Kristohanon.
19 Kamong mga bana, higugmaa ninyo ang inyong asawa ug ayaw ninyo sila pasakiti.
20 Ug kamong mga kabataan, tumana ninyo kanunay ang inyong mga ginikanan, kay mao kini ang kabubut-on sa Ginoo.
21 Mga ginikanan, ayaw ninyo palabihi ang pagsilot sa inyong kabataan, kay basin unyag mawala ang ilang tinguha nga mobuhat ug maayo.
22 Kamong mga ulipon, tumana ninyo kanunay ang inyong mga agalon dinhi sa kalibotan, dili lang kon nagtan-aw sila kaninyo aron dayegon nila kamo, kondili sa kinasingkasing tumanon ninyo sila tungod sa inyong pagtahod sa Ginoo. 23 Bisan unsay inyong himuon, himoa ninyo sa kinasingkasing, ingon nga kamo nagaalagad sa Ginoo ug dili sa tawo. 24 Nasayran usab ninyo nga may panulondon nga ihatag ang Ginoo kaninyo isip inyong ganti. Kay si Cristo nga atong Ginoo mao ang inyong gi-alagaran. 25 Ang nagabuhat ug daotan silotan sumala sa iyang nahimong kasaypanan, bisan kinsa pa siya, tungod kay walay pinalabi ang Dios.

Colossians 3
English Standard Version
Put On the New Self
3 (A)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek (B)the things that are above, where Christ is, (C)seated at the right hand of God. 2 (D)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For (E)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ (F)who is your[a] life (G)appears, then you also will appear with him (H)in glory.
5 (I)Put to death therefore (J)what is earthly in you:[b] (K)sexual immorality, impurity, (L)passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (M)which is idolatry. 6 (N)On account of these the wrath of God is coming.[c] 7 (O)In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now (P)you must put them all away: (Q)anger, wrath, malice, (R)slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 (S)Do not lie to one another, seeing that (T)you have put off (U)the old self[d] with its practices 10 and (V)have put on (W)the new self, (X)which is being renewed in knowledge (Y)after the image of (Z)its creator. 11 (AA)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,[e] free; but Christ is (AB)all, and in all.
12 (AC)Put on then, as (AD)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, (AE)compassionate hearts, (AF)kindness, (AG)humility, meekness, and patience, 13 (AH)bearing with one another and, (AI)if one has a complaint against another, (AJ)forgiving each other; (AK)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on (AL)love, which (AM)binds everything together in (AN)perfect harmony. 15 And let (AO)the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called (AP)in one body. And (AQ)be thankful. 16 Let (AR)the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, (AS)singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (AT)with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And (AU)whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, (AV)giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households
18 (AW)Wives, submit to your husbands, as (AX)is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and (AY)do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents (AZ)in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey (BA)in everything those who are your earthly masters,[f] not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 (BB)Whatever you do, work heartily, (BC)as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord (BD)you will receive the inheritance as your reward. (BE)You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

Colossians 3
New King James Version
Not Carnality but Christ
3 If then you were (A)raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, (B)where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the (C)earth. 3 (D)For you died, (E)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 (F)When Christ who is (G)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in (H)glory.
5 (I)Therefore put to death (J)your members which are on the earth: (K)fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (L)which is idolatry. 6 (M)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon (N)the sons of disobedience, 7 (O)in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 (P)But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who (Q)is renewed in knowledge (R)according to the image of Him who (S)created him, 11 where there is neither (T)Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, (U)but Christ is all and in all.
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, (V)as the elect of God, holy and beloved, (W)put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 (X)bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 (Y)But above all these things (Z)put on love, which is the (AA)bond of perfection. 15 And let (AB)the peace of God rule in your hearts, (AC)to which also you were called (AD)in one body; and (AE)be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another (AF)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And (AG)whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
The Christian Home(AH)
18 (AI)Wives, submit to your own husbands, (AJ)as is fitting in the Lord.
19 (AK)Husbands, love your wives and do not be (AL)bitter toward them.
20 (AM)Children, obey your parents (AN)in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
21 (AO)Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
22 (AP)Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 (AQ)And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 (AR)knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; (AS)for[a] you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and (AT)there is no partiality.
